The Ramada Harvis Hotel in Leicester (formerly The Grand) sits in the centre of the city, right in the middle of the main shopping high street. The hotel is approximately ten minutes? walk from the railway station and is close to many of the city centre bus services. I was brought to the city on business, at a call centre about fifteen minutes? away, but the hotel is well-placed for any visitor the city. The hotel offers limited, complementary parking but do check this when you book. As I was unfamiliar with the area, I asked a couple of local colleagues where the hotel was, and they referred to it only as The Grand. Bear this in mind if you are asking for directions, as the RamadaJarvis name tag does not seem to have been adopted by the locals yet.
RECEPTION AND ARRIVAL
The main entrance to the hotel opens straight out onto ...
Well, 4 weeks have passed and I've finally got a couple of days of to make the joyous trip to Leicester to see the missus. Since I was feeling pretty flush this month, we decided to book ourselves into a hotel rather than slum it in her apartment... room service not included. Now, Leicester's not particularly well known for having nice hotels. The former Grand Hotel (now a RamadaJarvis) is anything but grand, the Travelodge a permanent building site and the Hilton miles out from anywhere. That?s not to say the Holiday Inn is any better in terms of location.
Lovely Leicester. What?s actually there?

Leicester is home to various "attractions"... These include Europe?s largest covered market... where Gary Liniker's family still have a stall... and... well that?s about it really ...
